Tidigare pristagare – Former Laureates

The Scheele Award Laureate 2021

Professor Craig Crews, Yale University ”for his broad excellence in drug discovery and development, spanning from molecule to patient. He has combined groundbreaking science with strong entrepreneurship and received wide international recognition for his work on pharmacological modulation of protein turnover. His findings have led to new therapeutic approaches including the development of novel proteasome inhibitors and the PROTAC technology.”

The Scheele Award Laureate 2019

Professor Emmanuelle Charpentier, Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens, Berlin “for deciphering the molecular mechanisms of the CRISPR/Cas9 system – a gene editing tool with multiple applications in drug discovery and development.” Read more about Professor Charpentier and her research here.

The Scheele Award Laureate 2017

Professor Charles L Sawyers, Memorial Sloan Ketterering Cancer Center NY, USA “for his outstanding contributions in life sciences. Professor Sawyers’ work has provided insights on the molecular mechanisms causing tumour drug resistance which has paved the way to new effective cancer treatments saving the lives of many patients.” Read more about Professor Sawyers and his research here.

The Scheele Award Laureate 2015

Professor Robert S Langer, MIT, USA ““for his extraordinary achievements in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Professor Langer is a pioneer of drug delivery including controlled release- and non-invasive delivery systems across complex barriers in the body. His innovations has led to improved therapies and saved the lives of many patients. In addition Professor Langer is also known as the founder of tissue engineering in regenerative medicine” Read more about Professor Langer and his research here.
